andee's running

Went out with the ladies in my neighborhood - they're great motivation to get out the door on a cold morning.  Went a little slower than I like, but enjoyed the company.  Happy to be home and putting up Christmas with my boys

Well, I was lazy and took today off.  It is freezing cold, so I'm way impressed with all of you who went out this morning!  Thank you for the welcome messages, I'm excited to be a part of the fastrunningblog.

It was fun to get out and run in the snow this morning.  I met the ladies at 6:00 and we were off.  The second mile was hard because it was up will and into the wind, but we pushed through it.  I'm still freezing so I'm off to get some hot chocolate and feed my kids some breakfast!

Decided to just run on the treadmill today.  It was good to really be able to control my speed.  I had to jump off a couple of times to break up fights with the twins! 

Met the ladies at 6 and did the regular loop.  The second uphill mile was really hard today, and I had to talk myself through every stride.  I was proud of myself for pushing and not walking.  I'm taking my boys to the Festival of Trees today, I hope they like it!

Well, I got up at 5:45 so that I could meet the ladies at 6.  I headed out my door with a light snow falling and made it to the corner and waited....no one came, so I turned around and traced my footprints back my house.  I decided that I was already up and I could hear my boys talking in their room, so I headed downstairs and hit the treadmill.  I was dressed for and outside run, so I was hot from the start, but it was nice to just be by myself and think about life.

I've really enjoyed being a part of the blog.  It has been a great motivator for me this week.
